Poisonous Australian smoking woods?

[nissanneill]

I concur with Silky Oak.
I am cronically alergic to the wet sap, my face sells to almost close my eyes and I go into an itching spasm for almost 3 weeks when I get even slightly warm. Cut down a growing tree and get thelogs milled ---- forget it unless I want major problems.
The dry wood, no worries, can and do work with the timber.

PS I did get rid of a large silky oak in the front yard but ony suffered minor problems BUT I did satisfy the other half

It is a lovelly timber and has a very pleasant aroma, but wouldn't taste too good.
